Rules for Posting Guides on Our Community

1. Defining a Guide Guides are comprehensive reference materials, how-tos, or comparison tables. A guide must be well-organized both in content and layout. Information should be easily accessible without unnecessary navigation. Guides can include flowcharts, step-by-step instructions, or visual references that compare different elements side by side.

2. Infographic Guidelines Infographics are permitted if they are educational and informative. They should aim to convey complex information visually and clearly. However, infographics that primarily serve as visual essays without structured guidance will be subject to removal.

3. Grey Area Moderators may use discretion when deciding to remove posts. If in doubt, message us or use downvotes for content you find inappropriate.

4. Source Attribution If you know the original source of a guide, share it in the comments to credit the creators.

5. Diverse Content To keep our community engaging, avoid saturating the feed with similar topics. Excessive posts on a single topic may be moderated to maintain diversity.

6. Verify in Comments Always check the comments for additional insights or corrections. Moderators rely on community expertise for accuracy.

Absolutely never will you catch a southern Illinoisan saying we’re from/in the south. We say Midwest or southern Illinois to be more specific.

I never understood why people think WV is a southern state. 1) It fucking snows and is cold af in winter. 2) We literally exist because we ain't traitors.

It’s funny because I don’t know anyone east of Springfield that would consider themselves the “Ohio River Valley” either. I feel like the borders should be closer to state lines. I would like a reference for this map if anyone has it.
